Title: Marathon and Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund - Big Move Post by: aoluain on May 10, 2023, 05:32:44 PM Hi All, I think its a very long time since I've been on the mining board, anyway I thought
I would share this exciting news... https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/05/09/marathon-digital-in-jv-for-immersion-cooling-bitcoin-mining-in-abu-dhabi/ Quote Marathon Teams Up With Abu Dhabi's Zero Two for Middle East's First Large-Scale Liquid Cooled Bitcoin Mining The exciting aspect to this IMO is the fact that Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund will be involved. They obviously see the hugh potential which as they say in the article is opening up as the U.S want to introduce taxes on mining. Would be interesting to hear what the mining gang here think of this.

Quote The new project will first develop two mining sites with a combined capacity of 250 megawatts (MW) of mining power, according to a press release. The sites will be powered by excess energy in Abu Dhabi, increasing the base load and sustainability of that Middle Eastern capital's power grid, the statement continued. The necessary mining equipment and infrastructure for each site has already been ordered and construction is currently underway. It's always interesting to see places using their excess electricity to power BTC mining. Especially given the current context, US laws and the rising price of kw/h in many places, we need more mining-friendly places to emerge. I imagine that if things get too complicated in the US, the hashrate will mostly redirect to Russia or Kazakhstan. I'm curious to see what other places I don't imagine now will host this hashrate. In the case of Abu Dhabi, I think I see that they have already ordered their ASICs, so it's not about hosting potential US ASICs. So I'm now waiting to see what real hashrate is going to come out of this infrastructure and to see what is the future there for the Bitcoin miners.

The company also increased its average operational hash rate 18% month-over-month to 22.4 EH/s. It attributes its production growth directly to higher transaction fees on the Bitcoin network. In a bitcoin production and mining operation update published yesterday, Marathon Digital Holdings announced that it produced a company-record 1,853 bitcoins ($81.2 million at current prices) last month. https://www.theblock.co/post/270548/marathon-bitcoin-production-december-2023 |
